From the perspective of this process, it is interesting to look at Poland and Ukraine as systems in which population is one of the re...

Wybuch wojny rosyjsko-ukraińskiej wywołał w Japonii dość intensywną debatę dotyczącą woj-ny, pokoju i bezpieczeństwa. Obawa przed nuklearną trzecią wojną światową wywołała spekulacje odnośnie do możliwości uzbrojenia atomowego Japonii (wspieranego głównie przez polityków pra-wicowych), kwestii utrzymania edukacji pokojowej oraz szeroko rozumianej k...

The problem of the anti-totalitarian and anti-imperialist politicians in Berlin was and is rather to overlook the geopolitical independence of the area between Germany and Russia and to ignore the fact that the diplomacy of the Russian state uses every opportunity to desta- bilise the situation in those countries that at different times have slippe...

Siła propagandy alianckiej opierała się w dużej mierze na jej responsywności. Niemiecka doktryna wojenna zmuszająca do naruszenia integralności terytorialnej Belgii pozostawiła na kaiserowskich Niemczech piętno agresora. Anglicy z kolei przez cały okres wojny nie formułowali oficjalnie własnych celów wojennych. Swoje zaangażowanie w konflikt tłumac...

Czeka nas rozczarowanie podobne do tego jakie spot...

In his book 21 Lessons for the 21st Century the historian Yuval Noah Harrari wrote that man had the possibility to conquer the world precisely because he could create fictional stories and believe in them.

Actually, Christopher Columbus, the discoverer of the New World and the godfather of American Indians (Native Americans), never set foot on the territory of the contemporary United States. However, since 1937, Americans have been cele- brating the federal holiday named Columbus Day. From the 1960s, commemoration of October 12 has been subject to gr...

The occurrence of PB was to raisethe local government to a higher level of civil society by introducing so-called deliberative democracy. Forsome contemporary political thinkers, what defines politics is intersubjective dialogue conducted by citizensin an open and public...

While the search for the essence of truth has its ancient record, the concept of post-truth is the most modern one.

New media, in particular social media and digital society, are an important medium nolens vole...

Germany is also a country that has paid over 75 billion in damages by 2016 with various categories of vi...

As a concept of dialogical history we understand the process of creating transnational memory in the course of complementing individual national memories. In the opinion of the German memoryologist Aleida Assmann, the creator of the concept, dialogue history is particularly important for nations with a difficult past. A responsible and empathic te...

The future of challenges for NATO related to new wars, failed states, and globalization are the subject of the emerging analyses, and the sources for them are, among others, the experience of military operations in Afghanistan and Libya. For the current and future alliance, the most geographically important places of uncertainty in this area are No...

The NATO without the United States concept seems to be on the verge of futurological discourse and science fiction. This does not change the fact that the discourse on the possible duration of the North Atlantic alliance with the limited participation of the American partner existed in the past and will probably continue in the future. The discours...

At the threshold of the twenty-first century, America as a state and symbol, a monument to a certain idea, is still the object of the world's contestation. Although German anti-Americanism is only part of this contestation, it is very important, because it was German philosophers and historians who created the ideological foundations of America's c...

At the beginning of the twentieth century, America, and more precisely the United States, become more than country. This was related to the development of capitalism and the emergence of an industrial society. Paul Dehns formulated the concept of „Americanization of the world”. In the economic sense, according to Dehns, Americanization is the moder...
